I can confirm for you that John Kerry's is this small.

yeah, but he has to answer for that two-hour DNC propaganda piece "John Q."
Denzel is not a writer; he's an actor. Besides, his role in Manchurian had nothing to do with his race.
that has been proven to be untrue. But he did send a check later.
From what I've read, he's one of the good guys. A family man and a Christian and a damn fine actor too.
I just saw Malcom X in one sitting for the first time and was amazed at his performance as well as the real life Malcom's growing realization that it wasn't all the white mans fault.
Spike Lee is still a tool.
Awesome movie. The scary part is that the portrayal of Mexico is spot on.
It's hard to understand how a country like Mexico with all of its natural resources and hard working proud people are so full of corrupt politicians (are there any other types?) and law enforcement. No wonder they want to come here.
There's more to this story, according to a friend (I have more photos if someone can tell this newbie how to post them):

He made a large contribution, but not a whole "house". Still, this got almost no press coverage.

Don't know whether you heard about this but Denzel Washington and his family visited the troops at BrookArmyMedicalCenter, in San Antonio,Texas (BAMC) the other day. This is where soldiers that have been evacuated from Germanycome to be hospitalized in the States, especially burn victims. They have buildings there called Fisher Houses. The Fisher House is a hotel where soldiers' families can stay, for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying in the hospital. BAMC has quite a few of these houses on base but as you can imagine, they are almost completely filled most of the time.
While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He asked how much one of them would cost to build. He took his check book out and wrote a check for the full amount right there on the spot. The soldiers overseas were amazed to hear this story and want to get the word out to the American public, because it warmed their hearts to hear it.
The question I have is why does Alec Baldwin, Madonna, Sean Penn and other Hollywood types make front page news with their anti-everything America crap and this doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper except the base newspaper in San Antonio.
A true American and friend to all in uniform!
